    They both play a part in relaying information from your brain to your spinal cord to your muscles. The upper motor neurons connect the brain to the spinal cord, lower motor neurons connect spinal cord to muscles.

    This is a pretty basic explanation, for more detailed info and illustrations, have a look at the link below.
